How to Set Up Social Distancing with Left Teams Bowling in One Shift and Right Teams Bowling in Another Shift

Configuration Instructions for BLS-2025

1. Open BLS-2025 and Open the League.
2. From the main menu, go to Setup > League > Lane Assignments.
3. On the right side of the Lane Assignments grid, select the Social Distancing tab.
4. Choose Single Lane, Split Shift:
   • This setup ensures that teams only bowl on a single lane while keeping the other lane in the pair empty.
5. Adjusting for Automatic Scoring:
   • If you have automatic scoring, you need to complete additional configuration.
   • Go to Weekly > Prepare > Export to Scoring System.
   • Select the Options tab.
   • Uncheck the Bowl on a Pair of Lanes option. This should enable the Bowl all frames on same Lane option.
   • This setting informs the scoring system that teams are to bowl all frames on a single lane without alternating.

Notes for Automatic Scoring Centers:

• Each scoring system may handle this setup differently when exporting league data, particularly regarding instructions to bowl on the same lane without alternating.
• Depending on the scoring system used, you may need to adjust settings in your front desk software.
• For assistance with your scoring system’s specific settings, contact the support team for your scoring system manufacturer.

Advantages:

• This setup adheres to USBC emergency rules, allowing sanctioned leagues to use this social distancing method.
• It ensures that each team, regardless of whether they use a left or right lane, bowls on fresh lane conditions.
